Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:39:01 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=181861#comment-1542705I’m actually glad some old NFL coaching fraternity retread didn’t get the job. As a Panther fan, I can’t stand the Bucs and hope they finish 0-16 every year. But I like the idea of taking a chance and bringing in somebody that could pan out to be a good coach. I’m also glad this allows us to keep Chud for another year. The continuity of having the same offensive system next year should help Cam’s development immensly. I was worried he’d have to deal with the same thing Alex Smith and Jason Campbell had to go through.

Rutgers was one of the worst programs in college football history before he went there. Not saying he will win at the pro level, because it is a different beast. But I think its as solid a hire as any from the college level can be.

State of the Bucs :

Ownership – bad

Gm – good

Roster : better than advertised

Maybe a young, talented group such as the Bucs needs a fiery, college style coach at this stage Why not give the man a fair opportunity ? I sincerely doubt they will be “noncompetitive ” in games, as they were many times this year.

Or was it something else I said, like the BUCS continuance of mediocrity with their potential hire of this guy?

Tell me how I hurt your feelings so much that you had to censor my post that was in no way offensive, crude or vulgar. YOU just didn’t like it. What a putz.

This site is beginning to suck – HARD, and I’m beginning to think that coming here is a waste of my time

By the way coach Schiano, be prepared to get your ass kicked 6 times by the other three teams in your division. Cause it’s comin.

Even Walmart is figuring that out. How do people like the Glazers end up with all that money anyways?

@ derfshambeaux

Pete Carroll is around .500, which is probably the best after Jimmy.
_________

Carroll was a head coach of two NFL teams before becoming a college coach. Despite Harbaugh’s success this year, the track record for college coaches isn’t good. Turning a college program around has a lot to do with recruiting, which is irrelevant to the pro game.

Schiano has some NFL coaching experience with the Bears. He turned down HC jobs with Michigan and Miami U, so the man is highly regarded in many circles.
================================
That was a lifetime ago in terms of the NFL. He has been out of the league for 14 years.

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:47:28 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=181861#comment-1542376There’s one important factor that many people tend to leave out when evaluating college coaches, and that is recruiting. On the one hand, it can make coaches like Les Miles look much better than they actually are. On the other hand it can hide some solid coaches like Schiano, who are often overlooked by the team they coach and their record.

Of course Schiano won’t have a great career record, he coaches Rutgers. What is important is that he took them from being worse than the Dukes of the world and made them into a solid team. However, it’s still Rutgers and 5 star recruits still arent gonna go there too often, so eventually even the best of coaches will hit a ceiling at such programs. The Bucs weren’t alone in their interest; the Rams and Dolphins as well as teams in past years have looked at him, and Belichick has had a lot of praise for him as well.

With that said, I’m not going to be a homer about the pick either. I think it’s decent, but i don’t see the appeal over Schotty, Chud, or Zimmer, nor do i see why they’d go for another college coach but one who is completely the opposite of Kelly, their first choice. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Coordinators will play a very large part in the success or failure of this move.

How could you want to work with a guy (Freeman) who will be in the CFL in a few years?

The only question now is which HCs have contracts expiring in three years when Schiano is fired?

Bucs=Same as it ever was.

——————————–

Exactly who did you want? Sorry, but there was nobody out there where this statement might not have been true anyway. Plus, Schiano just might be what this team needs. They SORELY lacked discipline last year. At least give the guy a chance.

Schiano has the overall vision of a great leader and is smart enough to hire the right NFL assistants in key positions. He’s a younger, more disciplined, more well-rounded version of Marty Schottenheimer.

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:20:15 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=181861#comment-1542295I am already on the record saying I’m not sure he’s a good fit for the NFL, but people pointing out how mediocre his record is need to check themselves a little bit.

Rutgers football was a sewer before he got there. They were an absolute laughingstock. There is no question that he leaves the program in far better shape than he found it in.

And to the guy comparing this hire to the Jeff Fisher hire in terms of both guys having mediocre records- I don’t remember reading in the article that Schiano was getting a five year, $35 million dollar contract.

I’ll also point out that Schiano won as many post season games in ten years as Fisher did in 17 (5).

And he only gets to play in one per year.

…………And Tom Coughlin was hired from Boston College by the Jags and he took them to the AFC title game in their second year of existence.
==================================
Coughlin had NFL experience prior to being HC at BC. Schiano has been an NFL assistant. But that was 14 years ago. Coughlin was only at BC for 3-4 years. The situations are not comparable and the NFL game has changed a great deal in 14 years.
